As a Body-Focused Repetitive Behavior (BFRB), pulling hair out disorder, or TTM for short, can begin as early as 18 months old, impacting individuals across their lifespan. At HelpMe2Stop, we understand the silent struggle and the emotional toll this disorder takes. We believe no one should have to suffer in silence, and we are dedicated to fostering a community of understanding and acceptance. To learn more about our mission and work, visit our Mission Page.

The profound impact of Trichotillomania extends beyond the individual, often isolating them from the very support systems that could foster healing and recovery. Across the globe, countless sufferers face the challenge of accessing consistent, knowledgeable care from salon professionals. These individuals, who typically require regular maintenance, are often forced to manage their condition independently due to geographic barriers and a lack of specialized expertise in their local communities.

This reality underscores a significant point in the journey to healing: the immense potential for the beauty industry to drive impactful change. At HelpMe2Stop, we believe that informed salon professionals are vital catalysts for recovery. Millions of individuals are waiting for the specialized care and understanding that can profoundly affect their healing process.

Common indicators include:

• Noticeable hair loss, bald spots, or thinning patches.
• Short or broken hairs of different lengths in certain areas. Missing eyebrows or eyelashes.
• Clients who seem embarrassed or anxious when discussing their hair, or individuals who go to great lengths to hide these areas with hats, makeup, or hairstyles.
• Repeated, unsuccessful attempts to stop the behavior.

As a beauty professional, you are often one of the first people to notice these signs and are in a powerful position to respond with empathy and no judgment. When clients feel safe and seen in your chair, they're more likely to take the first step toward recovery. By being informed and compassionate, you help break the stigma around hair pulling disorders and show your clients that they're not alone

For millions, a salon visit is a form of therapy. It's a place to feel heard, cared for, and restored. Even a simple service like a scalp treatment or a shampoo can lift spirits and boost morale, proving that every moment of care in your chair can be a powerful act of healing. Educate to elevate, and transform your clients' salon experience on their journey to well-being.
